The Top 3 Tips for Lowering your Waste Footprint in Rancho Cucamonga

Did you know that a fully loaded garbage truck can weigh more than 60,000 pounds? Here in the city of Rancho Cucamonga, the vast majority of our trash that these garbage trucks pick up is hauled somewhere between 25 and 35 miles to the Orange County landfill. Every day of the year, several of these trucks spend several hours wandering through the streets to collect our trash, and then haul it miles away to the nearest dump. Many people are rightfully concerned about finding ways to reduce our waste footprint, or the amount of trash that we produce and send to local landfills. However, one aspect of this footprint that is rarely taken into consideration is the enormous amount carbon emissions associated with the fleet of gas-guzzling garbage trucks that are used to haul our trash to the dump.

Below, we will take an in-depth look at three different ways that homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Rancho Cucamonga can reduce the carbon emissions associated with the process of transporting their junk to the landfill.

Start a Backyard Compost Pile for Yard Waste and Kitchen Scraps

Amazingly, almost one-third of the municipal solid waste (MSW) that we produce each year is organic waste, including yard waste, kitchen scraps, leftover meals, and other types of discarded food. Yard waste alone, such as bagged leaves and fallen tree limbs is the third-largest component of municipal solid waste by weight, surpassed only by food waste and paper products.

When you send yard waste, kitchen scraps, and other types of organic waste to the landfill, you are taking up precious landfill space that is quickly filling up throughout southern California. Furthermore, most landfills are lined with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic to stop leakage of hazardous and toxic landfill waste. Though this can help to avoid groundwater and soil contamination, this plastic liner causes organic waste to decompose at a much slower rate.

As these organic materials such as dead leaves and kitchen scraps decompose in the presence of non-organic materials prevalent in landfills, methane gas is released in large quantities. Studies have confirmed that methane emissions are 84 times more effective trapping heat in our atmosphere than carbon dioxide within a 20 year time frame.

Furthermore, sending your organic waste to the landfill is like throwing money out the window. The leaves, tree limbs, and potato peels you usually throw away can easily be composted into a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer that you can later spread on your lawn and garden. American families collectively spend upwards of 40 billion dollars each year on taking care of their lawns. One recent study by Columbia University found that homeowners use at least ten times more pesticides and fertilizers per acre on their lawns as farmers do on their fields. Many of these organic chemicals cause serious health problems, while petroleum-based chemical fertilizers ruin topsoil. Composting your yard waste, kitchen scraps, and other types of organic waste can reduce the amount of money spent on chemical fertilizers, limit the water needs of your lawn and garden, and increase the fertility of your landscape.

By starting a small compost pile in your backyard for your organic waste, you can simultaneously reduce your waste footprint while creating a fertile amendment to help increase the fertility of your home or business. Furthermore, by composting your organic waste, you will also be drastically limiting at least a third of the waste (by weight) that you usually send to the landfill.

Reduce the Amount of Consumer Items you Purchase

Another simple and straightforward way to reduce your waste footprint is to simply limit the amount of consumer items that you purchase. Consider the following statistics:

The average American home has upwards of 300,000 items.
The average size of the American home has nearly tripled in size over the past 50 years.
One out of every 10 Americans rent offsite storage.
The average American family spends $1,700 on clothes annually. At the same time, the average American throws away 65 pounds of clothing per year.
Over the course of our lifetime, we will spend a total of 3,680 hours or 153 days searching for misplaced items due to our overly cluttered homes.
Americans spend $1.2 trillion annually on nonessential goods—in other words, items they do not need.

These statistics should make it clear that the vast majority of us simply have too many things in our homes. Instead of purchasing another non-essential item that will most likely be thrown away within the next year, limiting our consumer purchases is a great way to reduce the amount of stuff that eventually ends up getting hauled to the landfill.

Hire the Most Environmentally Friendly Junk Removal Company

No matter how much we reduce, reuse, and recycle, there are still going to be times in life when we need to get rid of junk that accumulates in our homes and businesses. If you find that your home is overly cluttered, or that your business no longer has any space or storage, hiring a junk removal company might be the most efficient way to get rid of your excess junk.

Unfortunately, many junk removal companies will simply haul the junk items they pick up directly to the nearest landfill. Though this may be an easy way to get rid of your excess clutter, it doesn’t help to reduce the serious problems affecting our region´s overburdened landfill systems.

Junk King Inland Empire is proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in San Bernardino County offering efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly junk removal services for both residential and commercial clients, including people who live in Rancho Cucamonga.

After several years of operation, we have developed close relationships with dozens of recycling centers, thrift stores, non-profit organizations, and other interested parties to make sure that all your used junk is given every opportunity to be donated or recycled, instead of simply sent to the nearest landfill. In fact, we are able to recycle, donate, or repurpose around 60 percent of the junk that we pick up, and we are always looking for strategies to improve that number. We are able to help our residential and commercial clients get rid of regular trash, construction debris, household junk, yard waste, small and medium sized appliances, e-waste, furniture and virtually anything that is not classified as toxic waste in an environmentally friendly manner

What to do with your Used Furniture in Chino?

During those long days of lockdowns and stay-at-home orders during the worst days of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people probably made a resolution that one of their first items of business, once the economy reopened, would be to invest in new furniture for their home. Even today, the amount of time that we are collectively spending in our homes is much higher than it was in the pre-pandemic world. As people continue to work from home, study remotely, or simply spend more time inside, investing in quality furniture is a great way to make your home more comfortable, inviting, and relaxing.

But what exactly happens to all of those old couches, beds, cabinets, chairs, chests, clocks, desks, tables, and other furniture items that we toss out? In this short article, we take a look at how the furniture industry in California is one of the fastest-growing segments of the economy. We then look at some of the negative consequences that come with improperly disposing of used furniture items. Finally, we explain why hiring Junk King of Inland Empire is the easiest and most environmentally friendly for people in Chino, California to get rid of all your used furniture items.

The Economic Boom of Furniture Sales in California

There is an estimated 4,321 furniture stores throughout the state of California. Though the market is dominated by large industry giants such as IKEA, there are also several smaller companies that specialize in selling household furniture, office furniture, and outdoor furniture pieces. According to one recent report, the combined revenue from all furniture stores in California is projected to grow to over $8 billion U.S. Dollars by 2024. This is almost double the combined revenue from 2012.

Though part of this growth in revenue is driven by higher prices and more population, the average consumer is also purchasing furniture and home furnishing items more frequently. On a nationwide level, the average expenditure per consumer on furniture amounted to around $534.17 U.S. dollars. More affluent households almost doubled that amount, with an average annual expenditure amounting to $1,092 U.S. dollars in 2019.

The Environmental Impact of Furniture We Throw Away

These impressive growth statistics might be seen as good news for the furniture industry. However, consumer spending on new beds, mattresses, couches, chairs, and other common pieces of furniture also means that we are throwing away our old furniture in record numbers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that the total amount of furniture and furnishings taken to a landfill rose from 7.6 million tons in 2005 to 9.69 million tons in 2015. Unfortunately, the amount of furniture we send to the landfill is increasing year by year.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans throw away an astounding 12.2 million tons of furniture waste each year! Furthermore, an estimated 80 percent of that furniture waste eventually ends up in landfills around the country, even though the vast majority of furniture items and materials are recyclable. Furniture waste statistics do not even include rugs, which amounted to a further 3.4 million tons of waste in 2017. Also, around 690,000 mattresses are sold each month in the United States. Most of those mattresses are meant to replace another older mattress that is eventually sent to a landfill.

For residents, homeowners, and businesses in the Chino, Chino Hills, and other parts of the Inland Empire, whatever furniture we throw away (along with the over 17,000 tons of waste collected weekly in the Inland Empire by Waste Management) most likely ends up in the El Sobrante Landfill. This massive landfill has a capacity to process up to 70,000 tons of waste per week, and it has grown to 468 acres and 1,832 feet high.

One way to drastically reduce the amount of furniture waste ending up in our local landfill is to either donate or recycle the used furniture items we throw away. Junk King of Inland Empire offers the most efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly way to help you get rid of your old furniture items.

Why You Should Hire Junk King of Inland Empire for All your Junk Removal Needs

For residents of the Inland Empire area, you probably understand the basics of separating your trash into the three, different colored trash bins that are provided to you by the waste management system provided by the local government. The blue barrel for recyclables is where you send your cans and foil, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, metal, milk jugs, milk/soy cartons (paper and aseptic), mixed paper, plastic bags (bundled), plastic shopping bags, other plastics and Styrofoam. The brown barrel is for regular trash, such as animal waste, household waste that is not recyclable, soiled products, and large or bulky yard waste. Finally, the green barrel is for smaller yard waste items such as grass clippings, leaves, shrubs, tree branches, weeds, and other yard trimmings.

But what about other types of trash, junk, or other waste items that don’t fit into one of those neat categories? An old refrigerator, a sagging mattress, or that old box-style TV you have stored in the basement probably won’t fit into any of those three colored bins. And in fact, you might even be hit with a fine if you try to put one of those junk items out with your regular trash pickup.

For bulky junk items, electronic waste (e-waste), construction debris, and virtually any other type of junk that doesn’t fit into the categories of the blue, green, or brown trash bin, Junk King Inland Empire is here to help you get rid of those items in a safe, effective, and environmentally friendly manner. Read on to find out why Junk King is your best bet for all of your junk removal needs.

Reason #1: Junk King Will Do All the Heavy Lifting and Hauling

Trying to haul a 300-pound couch down a flight of stairs is probably not on your list of things you wanted to do today. Unless you´re an accomplished body builder, you will probably also be risking a serious back injury as well. Unfortunately, if you plan to depend on the bulky item pickup provided by the local waste management company, you will have to either:

Drop off the items at Agua Mansa Transfer Station located at 1830 Agua Mansa Road;
Drop off your bulky junk items at a Neighborhood CURE Incredible Bulk Event;
Or call ahead to set up an appointment and haul all your junk items out to the curbside where your regular trash gets picked up.

For several residents, homeowners, and business owners of the Inland Empire, these options are simply out of the realm of possibility. Most people don’t have a heavy duty truck and trailer to haul their bulky items to the nearest drop off area. Also, moving heavy items around your home is a serious risk for scratching or denting your walls.

When you hire Junk King Inland Empire for your junk removal needs, our professional junk removal technicians will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling. You simply have to let us know what you want removed and where it is located in your home or business, and we will do the rest!

If you are worried about inviting strangers into your home, all of our team members take the health and welfare of our crew and customers very seriously. To keep everyone safe, we are 100 percent committed to maintaining a minimum 6-foot distance from every customer. Gloves, masks and hand sanitizers are provided on every truck used to protect both you and our haulers. Also, you can opt for “contact-less” service wherein our haulers can pick up your old mattress curbside, without ever entering your home. You can also send photos to the Junk King team for a touch-less price quote, and even pay for our services over the phone to limit social exposure.

Reason #2: With Junk King You Can Often Get Rid of your Junk on the Same Day

There is nothing worse than having an enormous amount of junk sitting around and taking up valuable space in your home or business. Unfortunately, when you make a bulky item appointment for items that are bigger than your regular trash through the local waste management company, you will have to wait until they have availability for that bulky item pickup.

Furthermore, when you use the public bulky item pickup service, you will have to ensure that the junk items you want to discard are limited to the following size: 8 foot length, 4 foot width, 4 foot height combined. If your junk items are larger than that, you may find that several of the items were left at the curb, meaning that you´ll have to haul them back to your home and schedule another appointment.

With Junk King Inland Empire, however, we make every effort to help our customers get rid of their junk items in the most efficient and timeliest manner possible. We prefer to offer on-site price estimates, and in many cases, we will be able to haul away your junk on the same day you call us. As soon as a price is agreed upon, you choose a date and two-hour service window that works for your schedule. Our junk removal professionals will call you 15-30 minutes before we show up to promptly take all of your junk items.

Reason #3: Limited Restrictions on What Junk King can Pick Up

Another reason to work with Junk King Inland Empire for your junk removal needs is because we are one of the few junk removal companies that help you get rid of almost every type of trash you might have on your property. The bulky junk pickup offered by the city waste management system has an enormous list of prohibited items, including:

Antifreeze
Hazardous Waste from commercial businesses
Paints
Filters
Televisions
Computer Monitors
Construction or Demolition Materials
Scrap Wood
Metal
Concrete
Doors
Lumber
Drywall
Fluorescent Light Bulbs
Household Batteries
Tires

If you were hoping that some of those items might be picked up during a bulky junk item appointment you had requested, you will most likely find that those items will be still waiting for you at the end of your driveway when you get home from work.

With Junk King Inland Empire, however, we can help you get rid of almost every type of junk item. We can handle most ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, except hazardous waste.

Examples of junk we haul away include:

Furniture Removal
Television Disposal & Recycling
Yard Waste Removal
Foreclosure Clean Outs
Appliance Removal
Hot Tub Disposal
E-Waste Disposal
Trash Removal
Mattress Disposal
Refrigerator Disposal & Recycling
Construction Waste Removal
Garbage Removal
And more!

How to Hire Junk King Inland Empire

On top of all of these benefits that come with hiring Junk King, we also are one of the few junk removal companies to provide our customers with “fair and transparent” pricing. We offer all of our residential and commercial four different ways to get a free estimate:

On-Site Pricing Estimate: On-site pricing is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price. Unlike other companies, our on-site pricing estimates are completely free, and come with no-obligation on your part. Our junk removal professionals will inspect the junk you need hauled away and offer you an upfront price. If a price is agreed upon, we will often be able to get rid of the abandoned items on the same day.
Call to Talk with a Trained Customer Service Representative: If you’d prefer to talk with someone before making a decision, you can call us toll-free at l 888-888-JUNK. Our customer service representatives can offer you a pricing estimate.
Text us a Photo: Also, you can simply take a photo of the items you need hauled away and text us those photos at 737-888-5865. We will promptly text you back a transparent price estimate. Once you accept the estimate, all you have to do is wait for the Junk King truck to arrive.
Online pricing estimator: Lastly, Junk King also offers an easy-to-use online pricing estimator. Simply enter your zip code to ensure that you are in the right service area and provide a few more pieces of information regarding the type and size of the junk items that you need removed. Our pricing estimator allows you to receive a transparent cost estimate based on either the actual items you need hauled away, or the anticipated volume in the Junk King truck you plan on taking up. The online pricing estimator is convenient, reliable, and time saving for those on a tight schedule.

No matter what type of junk items you have laying around your home or business, we are here to help you efficiently and easily free up space in your homes with the best junk removal service around. Give us a call at 1-888-888-JUNK, text a photo to 1-737-888-5865, or book an appointment online to save $20 on orders totaling more than $99.

Responsible Electronic Recycling in Rancho Cucamonga

Did you know that 20 to 50 million tons of e-waste are disposed of worldwide every year? E-waste refers to electronic products that are near the end of their “useful life.” It could include anything from computers, televisions, and cellphones to VCRs, stereos, and copiers. Here’s how you can recycle your electronics responsibly with Junk King in Rancho Cucamonga.

Why Use E-Waste Removal Services?

We all seem to have that one junk drawer in our house stuffed full of old cell phones, chargers, tablets, laptops, etc. We’re not sure what to do with our electronic waste. You can’t throw it in the garbage, but it also can’t sit there forever.

E-waste recycling is critical for environmental reasons alone. While e-waste represents just 2 percent of America’s trash in landfills, it equals 70 percent of toxic waste overall. Here’s why you should begin using e-waste removal services to address this problem:

They keep discarded electronic devices (toxic waste!) out of landfills
They salvage valuable materials that are 100 percent recyclable
They reclaim materials that decrease demand for new raw materials
They help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are released when manufacturing or processing new products
They reduce the energy needed to produce brand new materials as recycled materials require less energy overall for production

Options for Responsible E-Waste Removal

Find opportunities for reuse

We love the idea of new devices. Cellphone companies have sold us on the idea of “upgrades.” Think twice before you get a new device like a cellphone or laptop. Do you need that item, or is your current device working perfectly well even if it isn’t brand new?

Additionally, if you need to upgrade for one reason or another, see if you can repair the item as needed and donate it to a friend, family member, or charity.

Try returning the item to the manufacturer

If an item is broken or unusable, check with the manufacturer to see if they have a means of disposal or recycling. Some will take back their old or unusable devices as a way of being socially responsible.

Take the items to a dedicated e-waste facility

If you’re not able to find another use for the device, look for an organization that will recycle it on your behalf.

Schedule e-waste removal

Are you ready to get it “out of sight, out of mind”? It can be overwhelming to figure out what to do with your entire junk drawer full of devices! If you know your devices don’t work and you don’t have time to drive around looking for donation centers, schedule an easy e-waste removal service. A service like Junk King prioritizes sustainability and strives to keep e-waste out of landfills by properly disposing of donated items.

Why Choose Junk King for E-Waste Removal

E-waste recycling is particularly important because it cuts down on chemical emissions while disposing of devices and when making new ones. Yet, only 12.5 percent of e-waste is currently recycled. Junk King is your sustainable partner in all e-waste removal projects.

If you’re located in Rancho Cucamonga or the Inland Empire area, Junk King Inland Empire offers the most reliable, efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly furniture disposal service for residents and business owners in Inland Empire and other areas across San Bernardino County. We are the pioneers of recycling-based junk removal and can help you reduce your environmental footprint by ensuring that your junk gets every opportunity to be recycled, upcycled, or donated.

The 3 Main Junk Removal Problems Affecting Rancho Cucamonga

There´s nothing more unsightly than finding an illegal dump in an abandoned urban lot or on a side street next to your local elementary school. Even worse is to find potentially toxic waste being dumped into rivers, streams, and other important waterways. Despite the fact that the state of California is publicized as one of the “greenest” states in the nation, there are several severe waste management problems that affect the people of our state.

Consider the following issues related to waste management crises affecting several regions across the state of California:

Lack of Viable Landfill Space: According to the organization CalRecycle, “21 of the state’s 58 counties, having 41 percent of the population, will exhaust their (landfill) disposal capacity within 15 years. Of these, 17 have 8 years or less capacity. It takes 7 to 10 years to plan, design, and permit a new landfill.” Almost half of the people living in California, may not have an adequate landfill where they can send their trash items.
Illegal Dumping by Major Companies: Another serious issue related to waste management in the state of California is illegal dumps. Though most cities and municipalities across the state deal with smaller-scale illegal dumps on a regular basis, there have also been several instances of large corporations illegally dumping potentially toxic waste material. For example, one of the major national retail companies has been caught illegally dumping hazardous materials into California landfills. One recent probe found that the company Target had illegally disposed of electronics, batteries, aerosol cans, and compact fluorescent light bulbs into landfills. They also disposed of medical waste, such as syringes and prescribed pharmaceuticals, in the same way. Similarly, major oil companies like Total and Shell dumped thousands of tons of waste into illegal dumping sites while Crystal Geyser bottled water was caught dumping arsenic-tainted wastewater without proper permission.
Inability to Recycle Plastics: Lastly, with China and other Asian countries essentially banning exports of plastic recyclable items, many towns, cities, and municipalities across the state of California have essentially been unable to find a way to recycle the plastic items that people put into the recycle bins. In fact, at least 85 percent of single-use plastic items never get recycled, even if you dutifully separate your trash on pick-up day. Recently, California´s governor signed into law SB 343, a law that effectively limits what kinds of plastic can carry the recycling symbol in California.

Why Junk Removal and Waste Management Problems Arise

Given the problems outlined above, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that we still have a long way to go before California can meet its stated goal of becoming the first Zero Waste state. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “Zero Waste is a goal that is ethical, economical, efficient and visionary, to guide people in changing their lifestyles and practices to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are designed to become resources for others to use.” In terms of municipal waste management policies, a Zero Waste city would be one wherein the collective population effectively sends nothing to a landfill. Instead of filling landfills or burning our waste in incinerators, policies and incentives would help people and businesses reduce their needs, reuse as much as is possible can, send little to be recycled, and effectively reduce to zero the amount of junk that ends up in landfills.

Unfortunately, we are still a far away from achieving this goal, due in part to some of the following problems:

Lack of Public Awareness: Many people simply don’t realize that improper waste management is a major source of environmental degradation as well as presenting serious public health crises. Most people and businesses have grown accustomed to simply having their trash taken away on a weekly basis. Because of the relative anonymity of the final resting place of our junk, many people simply don’t understand that our landfills are filling up, that landfill gas is a major contributor to global warming, and that electronic waste (e-waste) is polluting much of our sources of water with potentially toxic chemicals.
Refusal to Learn about Compliance: Even though most cities and municipalities have norms, regulations, and laws governing compliance with recycling and proper waste management disposal, many individuals and businesses simply don’t comply with these regulations. For example, the city of Rancho Cucamonga offers several waste diversion programs, including the Construction and Demolition Diversion Program, commercial recycling, commercial organics, and food waste, residential recycling and green waste, management of the solid waste franchise agreement, the City’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, sharps collection program, used oil and filter recycling program, beverage container recycling program, and the stormwater pollution prevention programs. Unfortunately, many people simply don’t know of these programs or do not know how to properly comply with the regulations and programs in place.
Insufficient Investment in Waste Management: In some areas across the state of California, insufficient public investment is making it impossible for residents, homeowners, and business owners to do their part to work towards a Zero Waste Model. Fortunately, private junk removal companies like Junk King offer affordable, efficient, and environmentally-friendly junk removal services to hundreds of communities across the State. In the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Junk King of Inland Empire is the top-rated junk removal company that offers both residential and commercial junk removal services.

How Junk King of Inland Empire Can Help with a Transition to a Circular Waste Management Model

After several years of operation, Junk King of Inland Empire has developed close relationships with dozens of recycling centers, thrift stores, non-profit organizations, and other interested parties to make sure that all your used junk is given every opportunity to be donated or recycled, instead of simply sent to the nearest landfill. In fact, we are able to recycle, donate, or repurpose around 60 percent of the junk that we pick up, and we are always looking for strategies to improve that number. We are able to help our residential and commercial clients get rid of regular trash, construction debris, household junk, yard waste, small and medium-sized appliances, e-waste, furniture, and virtually anything that is not classified as toxic waste in an environmentally friendly manner. Whether you are doing an estate foreclosure or are simply trying to deal with the absurd amount of waste that accumulates over the holidays, hiring Junk King Inland Empire can help you deal with that junk without further contributing to the serious waste management problems affecting the State of California.

Also, when you hire Junk King of Inland Empire, you can also rest assured that you will know exactly how much our junk removal service costs. We believe in full transparency and are one of the few junk removal companies that offer free, on-site estimates. You can also call us for a free quotation or send us a text with photos of the items you need removed. We´ll send you a free quote so that you can determine if our services are within your budget.

The Benefits of Professional Junk Removal Service in San Bernardino

Most people who live in the Inland Empire know that our air quality is not the best in the world. In fact, studies have found that the Inland Empire has some of the worst ozone and soot pollutions in the country. More specifically, San Bernardino and Riverside counties have asthma rates twice as high as the national average. The hundreds of warehouses serviced by thousands of diesel smoke puffing semi-trucks certainly contribute to the serious air pollution problems. However, what many people don’t understand is that landfills in our region also can play a part in damaging the quality of the air we breathe.

A study by the University of Colorado determined that “along with methane, landfills also produce carbon dioxide and water vapor, and trace amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and non-methane organic compounds. These gases can also contribute to climate change and create smog if left uncontrolled.”

Fortunately, recent environmental campaigns, such as the Right to Zero campaign, have been leading efforts to clean up the dirty air that affects much of the southern California region. After years of advocacy, lawmakers and regulators in Southern California recently passed legislation that will slash air pollution from mega-warehouses by 10 to 15 percent, including the mega-warehouses in the Inland Empire. Part of this emissions reduction strategy will be focused on electrifying all sorts of vehicles, from large semi-trucks to public transit buses, cars, and even port equipment.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be similar traction in reducing the air pollution problems that are tied to our waste streams and their end place in the county landfills. In fact, the amount of waste per capita continues to rise throughout the state of California, with southern California experiencing notorious growth in the amount of trash we are sending to landfills each year.

Below, we offer a quick look at the top three benefits that come with hiring a professional junk removal service in San Bernardino.

Benefit #1: Help to Improve Air Quality

As we mentioned above, there is a direct correlation between the trash we throw away and the air we breathe. Research by the Environmental Defense Fund finds that landfills are the third-largest source of methane pollution in the United States. Furthermore, landfills also emit large amounts of health-harming and even cancer-causing air pollution such as toxic benzene. In San Bernardino County, we only have two active landfills, the Barstow Landfill and the Rialto Landfill. This means that we only have one landfill per 1,060,610 people. In California, San Bernardino County is ranked 33rd of 58 counties in landfills per capita, and 34th of 58 counties in Landfills per square mile.

For communities that live in near proximity to these landfills, then, there is an enormous public health risk associated with air pollution. By reducing our waste footprint and making efforts to send less trash to the landfill, we are indirectly helping to improve the toxic air quality that affects much of the region.

The best professional junk removal companies can help individuals, homeowners, and business owners reduce their waste footprint and thus reduce pressure on our already overburdened landfills. Junk King of Inland Empire, for example, offers efficient and affordable junk removal services for both residential and commercial clients in San Bernardino County.

After several years of operation, we have developed close relationships with dozens of recycling centers, thrift stores, non-profit organizations, and other interested parties to make sure that all your used junk is given every opportunity to be donated or recycled, instead of simply sent to the nearest landfill. In fact, we are able to recycle, donate, or repurpose around 60 percent of the junk that we pick up, and we are always looking for strategies to improve that number. We are able to help our residential and commercial clients get rid of regular trash, construction debris, household junk, yard waste, small and medium-sized appliances, e-waste, furniture, and virtually anything that is not classified as toxic waste in an environmentally friendly manner. Whether you are doing an estate foreclosure or are simply trying to deal with the absurd amount of waste that accumulates over the holidays, hiring Junk King Inland Empire can help you deal with that junk without further contributing to the air quality problem in our County.

Benefit #2: The Fastest and Most Efficient Trash Removal Service

While you could haul your old refrigerator out to the curb and place a “free” sign in hopes that somebody might come and pick it up, chances are that your used furniture, appliances, and other bulky junk items will end up as permanent “yard art” before anyone comes to take it off your hands. For functional appliances and furniture items that are still serviceable, you might consider donating them to a local thrift store. Unless you have a pickup truck and a strong back, however, moving heavy junk items down the stairs and out to your car is probably not feasible for most people.

By hiring Junk King of Inland Empire you can rest assured that we will help you get rid of your bulky junk items in the most efficient and resourceful way possible. Our professional junk removal technicians will do all the heavy lifting required. Simply tell us what needs to be taken away, and we´ll do the rest. Simply give us a call at 1-888-888-JUNK or send us a text at 1-737-888-5865 and we can set up a time and date to come and help you get free up space in your home or business.

Benefit #3: A Commitment to Transparent Pricing

Lastly, when you hire Junk King of Inland Empire, you can also rest assured that you will know exactly how much our junk removal service costs. We believe in full transparency and are one of the few junk removal companies that offer free, on-site estimates. You can also call us for a free quotation or send us a text with photos of the items you need removed. We´ll send you a free quote so that you can determine if our services are within your budget.

Whether you are completely renovating your business or simply have some yard waste you need to get rid of, Junk King of Inland Empire offers the most reliable, efficient, affordable, and environmentally-friendly junk removal service in San Bernardino County. We are the pioneers of recycling-based junk removal and can help you reduce your environmental footprint by ensuring that your junk gets every opportunity to be recycled, upcycled, or donated.
